Jono Pauliaus II personalizmas ir požiūris į rinkos ekonomiką enciklikoje Centesimus annus
The Personalism of John Paul II and the Aspects of the Market Economy in the Encyclical Centesimus Annus

Summary/Abstract: Šiame straipsnyje aiškinamasi, kaip popiežius Jonas Paulius II personalizmo teorijos įžvalgas taiko evangelizacijai. Laisvosios rinkos ekonomikos aptartis Jono Pauliaus II enciklikoje „Centesimus annus“ yra visuomenės evangelizacijos pavyzdys. Čia išryškėja mintis, kad teisingai suprasta ir skatinama rinkos ekonomika, nukreipta į žmogaus tobulėjimą, nors ir netiesiogiai, prisideda prie Bažnyčios evangelizavimo darbo, nes ji skatina autentišką žmogaus pašaukimą tapti panašiam į savo Kūrėją. Pagrindinis laisvosios rinkos klestėjimo faktorius yra pats veikiantis žmogus, turintis galimybę laisvės sąlygomis šioje veikloje ugdyti savo asmenybę. Taigi apie laisvąją rinką galima kalbėti kaip apie moralinio ugdymosi erdvę. Personalizmo teorijos taikymu laisvosios rinkos ekonomikai aptarti enciklika „Centesimus annus“ yra novatoriška – tai, aišku, popiežiaus Jono Pauliaus II genialumo vaisius. Karol Wojtyla developed the theory of personalism which he used in his writings as Pope John Paul II to support the Church’s message of evangelization. An example of this endeavor can be the theme of the free market economy in the encyclical “Centesimus Annus.” When the free economy is rightly understood, it can become a means of man’s development. The possibilities of advancing man’s freedom, responsibility, creativity and entrepreneurship in the context of the free market are the main areas of interest for John Paul II when he considers the concept of the free economy. The insights of the personalist approach to the human person and his actions, which Karol Wojtyla developed in his works “Love and Responsibility” (1960) and later “Human Action” (1969) helped him to articulate the arguments about the free economy. Such concepts as “self-possession,” “self-government,” “self-determination,” “transcendence,” “integration,” and “participation” became the philosophical background of John Paul II in the encyclical “Centesimus Annus” for talking about the nature of human action, the meaning of human liberty and creativity, initiative and participation, the relationship of freedom and truth, and freedom and responsibility. He demonstrates that authentic human freedom exercised in the area of the free economy can become a possibility for advancing the moral development of the human person. John Paul II described the “free economy” as one element of human freedom. When this liberty in the economy is rightly understood, the social conditions in society which support such freedom can be understood as the Church’s support in its mission of evangelization.
